    If you sit it on there is a big message that obviously needs decrypting, I'm not posting it here tho its massive.

    Also shows Reaper standing next to someone on temple of anubis but the picture is all distorted and can't see it properly.

    Pretty cool! With Legion coming and this whole Sombra thing in Overwatch, it's a great time to be playing Blizzard games.

    It should be noted that Sombra's spanish is either poorly translated or south-american, as she uses the formal pronoun for you (plural)/you seem (plural): ustedes/parecen, instead of the more common vosotros/parecéis.

    I believe most, if not all spanish-speaking south-american countries would write it that way, without hearing her accent, the only thing I can tell you is that she isn't from Spain.

    I believe the guess of her being Mexican came from the hints of Reaper looking for her, and them working together, and Reaper is also Mexican.

    well considering that many of her first found clues are found on dorado, a mexican map, one of her clues are decorated skulls, aka day of the dead references


    its very safe to say that she's from taco land.

    Probably, it's also easier for Blizzard to create a mexican character than it would be to create an argentinian or a chilean one. They're just more used to that culture, it's harder to screw up and be offensive or something like that.

    That said, skulls are a common icon, and that one doesn't look particularly... Dia de los Muertos-y.

    That doesn't change his ethnicity though is the point.

    "Mexican" is not an ethnicity. Do you mean they are both Hispanic or Latino?

    I mean, when the definition is "the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition.", I'm pretty sure it's nitpicking.

    You know exactly what I mean either way.

    I wonder how many people were busy copying that over into Google translate they didn't notice the page starting to freak out.
